Body Awareness Mistele Yoga
This is a repost of an essay on body awareness. Bardon practice presumes
and requires that you actually be able to directly perceive the vitality
and health of your body, muscles, organs, and the balance of life force
between upper and lower body, chakras, etc. This simple stretching and
focusing on vitality exercise is one way of doing that. Yoga itself and
Bardon body breathing in itself will not do this for you.
Furthermore, if you combine an awareness of the surplus vitality in your
body with akasha which is in effect Shiva you can combine the Shiva Shakti
kundalini yoga goal in your body with far greater ease. See my Kundalini
for Dummies farther down.

Ondine Movie SPOILER: The girl the fisherman finds in his net appears
to be a selkie--a seal that becomes human by shedding its skin. But it
turns out she has history--she was carring drugs and ended up in the sea.
But the idea that she is not human is too much for poor Syracuse (Colin
Farrell). In the end, she is accepted as human and not selkie so everyone
can get on with their lives.
But then the events in the plot, namely, that she can call fish for him
to catch can not be accounted for. No one is that lucky and the movie is
not about luck. The events in the plot indicate she is a mermaid who
revives the drowned body of a human woman and then (exactly like real
mermaid women) she lives among us disguising who she really is. But the
movie never touches this possibility.

This takes the former ten page essay and extends it into thirty-six pages.
This was quite difficult to write. It took me a week and a half going over
my notes and revising and editing. It is especially valuable for
individuals practicing Bardon's system in regard to working on magical
equilibrium. For the general population, I will have to put some novels
and screenplays or independent films to get the idea across. With some
luck, these things should be within reach.

St. Columba and the Undine
Iona--Isle of the Druids. Like the bards of old, St. Columba had trained
for seven years in darkness. The archangel Michael fought by his side in a
battle in which none of his soldiers were killed. On Iona each day as he
sat upon a hill, angels would visit him. And in the end, he found what he
sought--he saw God's face. And at night, his disciples saw that there was
no need of candle light--his hut was radiant with the light of his
presence.

The model for me is the incarnation of Prajnaparamita, the mother of all
enlightened beings. That is the vibration of her akashic or spiritual
body. But in our world there is no User's Manual next to the crib when you
are born. So she has grown up in a Western world that offers no support
for the enlightened mind or for someone whose inner spirit is the
embodiment of pure akashic penetrating emptiness.

This is my second in a series of videos relating to the theme of mermaid
women.
July 24, 2010
This is my first of a series of videos on mermaid or mermaid type women.
What makes them different is that from birth they are hard wired with both
extreme empathy and a profound connection to nature. See the brief
biography below of "Mermaids Among Us" for the story of this woman. Also,
I will have her "fairy tale" back story up soon. Enjoy.
July 22, 2010
The Human Experience
This is the third biography listed here of a "mermaid type woman." The
back story I wrote as a "fairy tale" of how it is that she is so watery
orinted in conventional terms or "how she acquired a human soul" in fairy
tale terms--see the story "Caelius Aurelius Luscus and the Mermaid," in
Chapter Seven of my On-line Undine Empathy Class. See main page for the
course files.
Since I write in a altered state I often have to study my own writing
to apperciate what is being said. These women are not just feminine and
very watery. The research indicates that twenty per cent of human nature,
of what it is to be a human being, has been kept secret from the human
race. This is in part so that we do not use it to destroy ourselves and
also so that we do not abuse the astral plane of the planet on which we
dwell.
Now, however, in order to avoid becoming extinct through our own
destructive tendencies, we will have to gain the trust of the mermaid
realm or else embody their capacity for empathy and love--imagine in a
microsecond being able to flow into the soul of anyone else on earth and
sense them directly from within and to have them in the same moment
acknwoledge your connection--to flow energy in and through each other; to
love freely without barriers, boundaries, or inhibitions.
It is not just sweet, romantic stuff; fail and you cease to exist as a
species. That is what the mermaids seem to be saying to us.

Mermaids Among Us
This is a short biography of a hard core mermaid woman. That is, if you
could meet a woman who had a mermaid soul, then this woman would be a good
example. See also below--"Growing Up Mermaid" as another example. I'll
have a few more similar biographies up soon.

Growing Up Mermaid
This is a nine page brief summary of Ronda's experiences growing up more
mermaid than human. It happens. I have a number of similar video taped
interviews I am workng on with other men and women.
See also below, April 20, Interview with a Hard Core Mermaid Woman.
They tend to move in groups of three so when I meet one I usually end up
being able to interview the other two as well.
If you practice chapter nine of Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics, you
can meet the undine queens he describes in his books. Or, you can meet
women who possess undine souls or who were once undines. They have
similar auras and feel and think in similar ways. With six plus billion
people on earth, it is not hard for me to imagine that there are a few
souls in human form who are from the Other Side.

An Alchemical Story
This is a story relating to the breathing exercises, See "On Attaining
Physical Immortality, Part I and II."
I took five breaths breathing in the energy of Emedetz of the solar
sphere who specializes in vitality according to Bardon. (See my essay
below on Emedetz.) And then I wrote the poem and the dialogue to go with
it. That was yesterday.

Undine Empathy Course, Chapter Ten
This is chapter ten of the free, on-line Undine Empathy course. It is
about 168 pages with about twenty-two pages of email questions and
answers at the end. Other than the Introduction and email the material has
all been posted here under What's New.
I started this course with two remarkable women with mermaid
personalities. Now, after many more interviews, I can present a new and
completely distinct personality type never before described in literature
or in human history. These mermaid women have always been among us. But
in order to survive among human beings they have had to become absolute
masters of disguise. Fortunate for me, once I meet one or two they give me
many referrals to others like themselves.
The book, "Undines--Lessons from the Realm of the Water Spirits" has
gone off to the printers and is out July 6th. See Amazon.com or North
Atlantic Books for pre orders.

On Attaining Physical Immortality, Part II
This is the second installment of my essay on Bardon's breathing
exercises. Scroll down for part I under April 13. Consider it a first
draft. I am not presenting anything that is not already in Bardon's books.
Other than a few comments, I am just clarifying the practice and the
possibilities. I like to write like this because I sometimes write from
an altered state of consciousness.
In a way, rereading this essay for me is like reading it for the first
time. I am curious about what I will come up with. The essay does not get
into practical tips as much as I wanted to. But it is a start. Enjoy.
May 7, A few new additions to this essay on e.g. at the end.
April 30, 2010
The Knight, the Merman, and the Maiden
Franz Bardon says of the merman Ermot that he specializes is creating love
between human beings. All streams and rivers are his home.
In case you are interested in how this works for me, my empathy feels
another's aura pass through me. Specific sensations and feelings arise. I
focus on them and words and images appear which I put into a poem.
And the poem, of course, not quite knowing where it belongs, asks me to
give it a home. And this I do by writing a story so it can better
understand from where it came and where it wishes to go.
As for the girl? Like fate and destiny, art and reality often strive
with each other in a wild dance of ambition and surrender. Who can
determine in advance the outcome?
One of these days my poetry will turn into real songs with notes and
melodies and the stories hopefully into movies.
April 28, 2010
The Master, the Student, and the Mermaid
Woman
I was out for a week going over the proofs for my book, Undines--Lessons
from the Realm of Water Spirits--out in July from North Atlantic Books.
Its already listed on Amazon.com
Now then, on the lighter side, this story/dialogue is meant to be
humorous. Then again--
I watched this girl for two hours as she was speaking to a guy who was
not a close acquaintance. I took a break and when I came back she was
gone. And so I am left without a photo of her to share with you since I
was unable to ask her to do a photo shoot.
But I did get the poem and this story that is written for her. As the
story notes, mermaid type women are one in four thousand women. They are
very rare and absolute masters of disguising themselves to appear like
other women when they are not at all like other women.
April 20, 2010
Interview with a Hard Core Mermaid
Woman
The "hard core" mermaid women have very strong ties in one way or another
to the realm of mermaids. In addition to the twelve traits of mermaid
women, they have three traits specific to them: 1. They have telekinetic
or highly mesmeric abilities--it is not just that the energy of nature is
reflected in their auras--they are a part of nature in their very being.
2. They heal and perceive at a distance. And 3. They see fairies as
children and as adults and easily speak with dead people.
This is around 50 pages, actually 35 pages if you collapse the
spacing.
April 18, 2010
Another video. This one is an attempt to create the astral or feeling
energy associated with Franz Bardon's breathing exercises for me. See

On Men: Excerpt from an Interview with a Mermaid
Woman
This is a straight forward and brief selection from an interview with a
"mermaid woman" for whom I wrote the story, A Double Changeling. Undine
queens consider her to be their sister. Several psychics have
described this girl without having met her. They said she would
be involved in my artistic work.

The Master's Three Students
A short nine page story on three students who in the same day each in his
own way requests that the master resolve problems concerning personal love
and the path to perfection. I wrote this in one sitting. I hope you
enjoy it.
I was upset for two days after talking to this girl who said she and
her hushand shared the same soul. See below for Prose Poem for the Next
Race that Replaces Human Beings. This humorous story is my response. No
more upset. Go figure.
April 13, 2010
On Attaining Physical Immortality
This is a brief introduction to Franz Bardon's breathing exercises from
Initiation into Hermetics. It is a work in progress.
For some reason, the formating is screwed up. I am getting some help
and will continue to work on it.
April 10, 2010
Changeling Transcript Three
This is a third transcript of a brief on line conversation with a girl on
the other side of the world. She is in Eastern Europe and I am in
Hawaii. We are pursuing the nature of mermaid/water women/mermen and
issues regarding love and being connected.
April 7, 2010
A Water Exercise
This is a basic water meditation similar to Bardon's in chapter one of
IIH. It "reverse engineers," that is, it reproduces the kind of water
energy that mermaid women all use when they heal. I practice this every
day.
A Prose Poem for the Next Race that Replaces Human
Beings
I had an interesting conversation last night with a Persian, a member of
the next race that comes in to replaces us after we go extinct. I thought
at first she was a mermaid women because of the magnetic field surrounding
her. But she did not embody the twelve traits that are typical of mermaid
women. However, the Persian women tend to all have magnetic fields as
their auras. They just do not usually use that magnetism as we would use
it. Instead of using it for love and empathy, they use it to maintain an
inner emotional support for attaining their designated goals. This woman,
however, is an exception.
There are only about five hundred or so Persians on earth. I find
it more than a little disturbing that two of them can attain a higher
level of love than 6.8 billion human beings. I have to ask myself, "Why
did the human race never learn how to love in this way?" You can bet I am
going to spend some serious time exploring that question.
March 31, 2010
Changeling Transcription, Part Two
This is another brief, edited transcription of talking to a girl who is an
extreme empath to the extent she is "like" a mermaid in the form of a
woman. I would like to believe that the human race is capable of
producing women like this, but I have my doubts. It is much easier just to
say that she is from the Other Side and is visiting "here on holiday."
March 30, 2010
The Cosmic Letter B
The letter B is the power of uniting the electric and magnetic
fluids. On a physical level, it vastly enhances healing. On a mental
level, it grants insight and power into changing the planned karma of
oneself or of others. I am studying this letter in relation to an essay I
am writing on Bardon's breathing exercises. It adds in the electric and
magnetic fluids which the breathing exercises do not directly address.
March 28, 2010
Changeling Transcription One--The
Oceans
I have been interviewing with camrecoder and in writing a number of
mermaid type women and a merman as well. Just to give a sense of how this
works sometimes, here are some meditations I did with one mermaid woman.
For this woman, see the "Another Poem for the Changeling" below and the
poem at the end of the story about Karl, the Master, and the Mermaid.
The Cosmic Letter C
Like the previous cosmic letter L, this letter also relates to Bardon's
breathing exercises and is meant to enrich the essay I am writing on them.
March 27, 2010
A Magician's Prayer
March 23, 2010
The Cosmic Letter L
This essay on the cosmic letter L is actually a supplment or part of the
appendix for another essay I am writing on Bardon's breathing exercises
called, "On Attaining Physical Immortality." When you have a near death
experience, you sometimes have the option of bringing back a gift from the
Other Side. I am working on "assemmbling" this gift so it is up and
running and fully operational.
March 19, 2010
Another Poem for the Changeling
The poem wrote itself while I went for a walk.

A little mood piece for Bardon. It is 8 KB in size, a WMV file. I'll see
if I can get it up on youtube.com so it is easier to play.

March 17, 2010
Global Sea Meditation
This essay is written in part in response to a mermaid woman's question,
"Why can human beings not love as we love?" Good question. For the
answer, to put things in perspective, you have to look back at Neanderthal
and forward to the race that replaces us. And then we are ready to ask
the underlying question, What is the purpose for which this planet exists?

My Physical Therapist--A Mermaid Woman

Karl, the Master, and the Undine
Let's just say I have a little insider's knowledge on this topic. In fairy
tales, a changeling is a fairy placed in a crib that looks human while the
real child is taken away to the fairy realm. In my fairy tales, based on
psychic and first hand observations, a changeling is a fairy such as a
mermaid that enters a human baby when it is born. An exchange may or may
not be made. The child grows up in the form of a woman, its mermaid's soul
intact. But she most likely or usually does not know she has a mermaid's
soul. She only knows she is different.
In fairy tales, we are sometimes told that if she marries a man she
acquires a human soul. That is sheer nonsense. It takes a full and
powerful magical action to give her a human soul. She must choose, when
given the choice, if she wishes to return to her own realm when she dies
or continue to incarnate as a human being.
Bardon himself warned one of his students not to marry an undine because
she would distract him from pursuing his magical training. This story has
a similar ring.

Social Conflicts Between Mermaid
Women and the Men They Love
In this essay, I continue my spiritual anthropology by exploring through
interviews with women and psychic meditations with undine queens the
difference between the way mermaids love and the way human beings love.
As a mediator, you might say, I get to hear both sides of the discussion
and so I offer my own suggestions as well as note that I will continue
researching this topic. As I have mentioned elsewhere, upon minor points
such as these may depend the survival of our species.

Chapter Nine of the On-Line Course for
Undine Empathy
New articles on The Magnetic Fluid Exercise, Part II--Istiphul's
Empathy, Sixteen Traits of Undine Queens, questions and answers and a
new version of Twelve Traits of Undine Women; also, the masculine
mysteries on the salamander Amtophul I have added to this chapter to
contrast the feminine to the masculine in terms of methodology.
For the rest of the chapters, see The On-Line Corresondence Course on Undine Empathy

Guardian of the Gate
This is a new divine mission for a sheriff/judge to watch over
human-undine interactions investigating abuses by human beings. I have
had a complaint brought to my attention in this regard. Human beings
already have a terrible reputation with undines, oh, for the last ten
thousand years or so anyway. Time we took responsibility for what we do.
vI also added an update under the divine mission for Referee as to methods
for dealing with abuses of power, both temporal and spiritual.
January 27, 2010
The Salamander Amtophul and the Masculine
Mysteries
This essay is part of the next chapter in my on line course in undine
empathy. It provides a very brief description of the use of fire in nature
as a contemplative and magical practice for developing will power. This
should be taught to young men so they can understand the power inherent
within them just as undine empathy should be taught to all young women so
that they understand from within the creative power of the feminine.

Twenty-Five Earthzone Spirits
Temporarily, I offer this manuscript in the interest of getting a few
individuals to make comments and suggestions. It will be another year or
two before I get a chance to go over it and prepare it for publication.
Fall of Atlantis--a Screenplay
Here is an unedited manuscript of a screenplay I am working on. It was
fun to write. Most of the dialogue, well, a lot of it anyway, I have
heard spoken in real life. The story is of course fiction. But the magic
is real. Enjoy!
For more on Atlantis, see some of my stories under my on-line undine
empathy seminar.

Chapter One of Undine Empathy Seminar
I posted the introduction and first chapter for the seminar/correspodence
course on Ordinary, Magical, and Undine Empathy
July 26, 2009
Prajnaparamita Poem
This is a poem for the akashic level of the cosmic letter U. I meditate on
this every day so it is apprpriate for me to write poems about it.
It embodies one aspect of the cosmic feminine. Though rather
abstract, it has some practical applications.
July 24, 2009
Seminar: Ordinary, Magical, and Undine Empathy
I will begin posting the curriculum for an on line correspondence course
on Ordinary, Magical, and Undine Empathy.
It is also a study of the magnetic fluid and an introduction to several
undine queens.
Like stone soup, your correspondence, questions, and comments will
enrich the process. Other than confidential and personal information, I
would like to use the ideas of participatnts to build the material into a
book and training seminar.

Seven Aspects to the Genre of a Modern Fairy
Tale
As I read different writers describe the nature and definition of fairy
tales, it appears to me they are just describing their own approach,
style, and assumptions.
In this spirit of complete subjectivity and autobiographical
perspective, here is a summary of my approach to writing fairy tales.
July 17, July 19, 2009
An Undine Possession--a New Story
This is another variation on an undine entering a woman's body to marry a
man.
Ordinary, Magical, and Undine
Empathy
This is the heart of my work on undines. Whether one "believes" in
fairies or not, these skills ascribed to them are easily taught to human
beings and so:
1. Learn them and human destiny changes.
2. You now have the power to eliminate wars on earth.
3. Contact with undines/mermaids becomes extremely easy should you desire
to do so.
4. The human race acquires what is missing from its collective
conscience--fail in this endeavor and you as a race may end up losing your
planet.
A Question and Answer on Beginning Practice and
Undines
This is an email response to a question put to me this morning. It
comments also on the above story and essay.
June 21, 2009 Happy Summer solstice
A Mermaid's Story
The problem with the Brothers Grimm or W. B. Yeats when they collected
folk tales and fairy tales was that they did not conceive of this endeavor
as a magical action. They only passively collected their stories.
To get the best stories you have to go half way to the Other Side or
better yet seek duel citizenship and apply for a duel passport. You can
write about the mysteries and you can read about the mysteries. But this
is the difference between smelling the wine and actually drinking the
wine. The idea with a fairy tale is to allow the mystery to flow through
your soul.
And so I offer to you the opportunity to drink rather than just to
read. This story is a continuation of the "Interview with an Undine in
Human Form," scroll down.

Another Divine Mission
This mission relates to the rediscovery and confirmed, real, and
unmistakable artifacts of Atlantis along with gaining access to its
knowledge and magic.

Interview with an Undine in Human Form
About a year ago, May 28, 2008, I started my Undine Project to help
promote my book on undines. A major publisher is wrapping up negotiations
for this book.
For me, it is astonishing how little actual literature there is on
undines/mermaids in either folk traditions, fiction, fantasy, or occult
writings. I intend to at least double the entire body of world literature
on undines.
On April 9, 20009 below I added a transcript of a session with a
medium I work with who channeled the undine Istiphul. Today I am adding a
transcript with an introduction of another psychic I work with.
This continues the Undine Project in which I originally stated my intent
to work with psychics, mediums, high adepts, performing artists, models,
actresses, etc. The goal is not just to talk about undines in terms of
legends and fairy tale like stories. The idea of the project is to
discover the extent to which real women in a real world can acquire the
immense undine powers of empathy and magnetic love. These powers are not
romantic in nature. They are the primal powers of creation moving through
human personalities.

The Merman Ermot
This is from a revised edition of my future Undines book. Ermot
specializes in rivers and streams. Sensing the flowing energy, he applies
his wisdom to the energy that flows between lovers. He is like a muse and
an artist when it comes to flowing water and to love.
May 14, 2009
Sylphs, Gmomes, and Salamanders--A Brief
Summary
I read literary discussions that seek to define what fairy tales are. I
ask, How can you attempt to define a fairy tale unless you have actually
met fairies? It is like a theologian trying to write about God who has
never spoken to him. In that case, you do not get knowledge or experience,
only speculation.
In chapter three of Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics, he has the
student imagining he is within a sphere of one of the four elements. The
element surrounding one is imagined as filling up the entire universe.
This is an exercise in how to perceives as a nature spirit, an
elemental being.
For those who practice these exercises my description of nature spirits
will present no problem. In a sense, you have already, at least in your
imagination, entered these realms and become one of these beings.
This essay is from my revised book, Undines, to be offered by
a major publisher in 2010.
May 11, 2009
Another Mission Added Under Divine Missions
This mission has no requirements. It is to disclose the mystery, that is
the divine light, hidden in another's life. It is about listening.
May 9, 2009
Very short Undine Screenplay
Dion Fortune wrote The Secrets of Dr. Taverner; Aleister Crowley wrote
Moonchild; Colin Wilson wrote Space Vampires; Peter Beagle wrote The Last
Unicorn; Patricia A. McKillip wrote The Forgotten Beasts of Eld; and of
course J.R.R. Tolkien wrote about Middle Earth and The Hobbit.
I do not know who writes better about magic: the fantasy writers who
love art or the magicians who love wisdom.
Franz Bardon mentioned the example of a magician he knew who married an
undine. The undine was in the body of a woman.
I always look for that moment in a photo shoot when the model, the
setting, and the vibration turn into pure magic--the piece of art
capturing part of the greater universe. Do undines walk among us? Stay
tuned for future updates and reports.
May 1, 2009 Happy Beltaine
Another mission added under Divine
Missions
This one relates to a "Master of the Four Elements." Actually, you can
just take one element at a time. No hurry here. Good luck.
April, 22, April 18, 2009
An addition to Divine Missions Section
Several new job positions available. Hey, I just write them up. Middle
age men like me have this authority--we can ask about what is missing from
life. What young men can not sense and religious leaders do not desire,
we feel in the pit of our bones. I sense a whole lot missing from life.
And so I added this section not to complain but rather to celebrate life
unfolding.
April 9, 2009
Channeling an Undine
As I promised on June 30, 2008 under casting calls and in my undine
project notes, it was my intent to work not just with models but also with
adepts and mediums in order to create a body of literature celebrating the
knowledge and the gifts of the undines.
In this channeling of the undine Istiphul, I use a medium I have worked
with before. The medium is in a Ph. D. program. She is a published
author. She is a professional psychic and a magician. But when she
channels none of that matters. She does not even remember what she has
said when it is over.

Advice to a Young Model Just Beginning Her Career
At the risk of boring some of my readers to tears, I will also relay
something said at lunch after the photo shoot. My sense of humor tends to
correct for my unmittigated zeal. So stay tuned for my eventual short,
independent film in which I make fun of myself and of everything else.

A Quick and Easy Guide to the Five

Istiphul's Personality
Istiphul is one of four queens of the undines mentioned by Franz Bardon
briefly in his work, The Practice of Magical Evocation. This twenty page
essay is a study of Istiphul's four bodies, physical, etheric, astral, and
mental. I have spent a fair amount of time working with Istiphul in the
past. Since I am involved in communicating to the world the wisdom and
love of the undines, I often find her at my side as I work in a
photoshoot, a brief movie, or carry on a discussion with someone about
undines.

March 9, 2009
A Conversation with the Undine Queen Isaphil
Similar to my conversations with spirits, I spoke with Isaphil about a
number of things. Franz Bardon says about the sylphs, the spirits of the
air, that they are so aloof and hard to manage that it is easier to go to
the earthzone spirits who will give you the same information and more.
The greatest elemental beings of our planet are not at all like those
spoken of in mythology. These masters of the elements oversee the entire
biosphere of our planet. Their powers, grace, beauty, and magic are far
in advance of human science and knowledge.
One salamander such as Orudu could postpone for a few centuries the
eruption of a supervolcano such as the one under Yellowstone National
Park. One sylph such as Cargoste could postpone the onset of an ice age
for twenty years. One gnome such as Mentifil could advance our knowledge
of medicine by a hundred years quite easily.
So it is no wonder that an undine queen might hold the keys to inner
peace, empathy, seeing the future, and love far beyond our current
experience. The spirits of the lunar sphere are far easier for me to
speak with and to meditate with. Isaphil's powers are astonishing.
All the same, an undine is closer to us than a lunar spirit. She is
almost like a human woman in the way she looks, talks, and acts. She just
has remarkable powers of femininity that draw upon the magic of the waters
of the earth and the seas.
March 6, 2009
An Essay on Saturn's Influence and on
the Chief Judge of Saturn
I describe the influence of the sphere of Saturn on the akashic, mental,
astral, and etheric/physical planes of our planet. It is astrology but as
direct observation from within the vibration of the planet.
I add briefly also to my study of the Chief Judge of the Forty-Nine
Judges of Saturn which Franz Bardon mentions in passing. I am not sure if
you should take this as humor or as serious commentary, but if there was
an ancient civilization of Atlantis that destroyed itself through
abusing its spiritual powers, then this might have been a good essay for
those mages to have studied back then. But wait, Plato used the story of
Atlantis to discuss the future destiny of Greece. People like me worry
about the future and its conflicts. They seem to vibrate within us.
March 5, 2009
An Essay on the Jupiter Spirit Ambriel
Ambriel as I mention under divine missions comprehends all scientific
and intellectual development on earth. What I am doing with these spirits
is similar to an interview.
One individual used to have tea once a week with the head of a magic
order. It started as a casual, social kind of thing. But after doing it
long enough, he himself become the next head of the magical order. You
hang out enough with these spirits and it is no longer writing an essay
but a way of changing the world in some way. But by saying, "hang out
with" I don't mean that it is a completely casual kind of thing.
What I and I think Bardon intends by mental wandering as it is called
is that at some point you internalize the spirit's vibration inside your
self. In so doing, you acquire some of its powers and wisdom. The wonder
and beauty of these spirits are so great I hope that something of it comes
through my writing and can benefit others.
March 2, 2009
An Essay on the Mar's Spirit Anator
Franz Bardon likes his students to develop connections to at least two
spirits in each of the planetary spheres. Since I meditate in the sphere
of Saturn every month, I have to fill in for the previous planetary
spheres I am weak in. Anator has my same sign: Aquarius. Mars in
Aquarius as I mention in the essay is not easy to work with. But I must
say it is really nice to have Anator's point of view on Aquarius, on will
power, on mission, and the arts of war and peace.

Divine Missions--Positions Now Available
I was meditating with Ambriel of the sphere of Jupiter today again
searching for a spirit who might help in resolving the global economic
meltdown. Ambriel seemed to think it a good idea to post something along
the lines of a divine mission bulletin board.
The original idea comes from a spirit Bardon called Cigila. A spirit of
the earthzone in Pisces, this spirit offers divine missions. He is
interested in reducing suffering on earth.
In 1979, I placed Cigila's vibration in an electro-magnetic volt
according to Bardon's instructions and immediately received a dream about
a possible future nuclear war. I have been involved as what I call a
"referee" since that time.
February 15, 2009
Emedetz--An Evocation of a Spirit of the Sun
This is a twenty-three page essay on a spirit from the sphere of the sun
who specializes in health and vitality. It is like a brief interview. I
am studying here to learn because it is an area in which I am weak.
February 12, 2009
More Poems from the Merman Ermot
I have added some more poems from this wonderful merman named Ermot.
Instead of writing prose descriptions of his etheric, astral, and mental
bodies, and so forth, I just let his voice speak through me with words of
poetry.
Ermot is described briefly by Franz Bardon in his book, The Practice of
Magical Evocation where he also describes three other mermen and
four undine queens. See my book, Undines, at lulu.com, search
undines, for my experiences with the undine queens.
Note: in case you wonder how a spirit of the earthzone sometimes works,
after meditating with a spirit who inspires poetry, I have written nine
poems in the last eight days. You can decide if there is any value there
or not.

A Song for the Forty-Nine Judges of Saturn
I ask you, Where are you going to find a bard who sings songs to Saturn?
The motto of Saturn is perhaps a question,
Strip away everything false and temporary and what is the essence that
remains? Show me the jewel that shines in the heart and mind with the
light of eternity?
I took the liberty of presenting these questions to six men from history.
Their lives are like melodies before the Judges' eyes.

Saturn Meditation and the Idea of a Referee
A brief meditation on the akashic plane of the sphere of Saturn and the
idea of a referee--something I often pursue in writings. It concerns
justice and political evolution on earth. It falls under the primary
purpose of this website, which is dedicated to the enlightenment of the
world.
There is also a disclaimer in the above essay which refers to the below
piece of humor.
February 6, 2009
I started a on-going commentary on the spirit, "the patron of poets." See
below.
February 5, 2009
Poem by a Female Gnome
Don't ask me where this came from. I'm on a roll. Well, the model inspired
it. Stay tuned. I'll see if she is willing to play the part of a
female gnome for a shoot. She sure has earth energy.
Note: this is creative writing as in fiction. It is playful. I did not
evoke a real gnome to write it. Like I say, the model I am working with on
a good day could double as a female gnome if she changed her focus in a
slight way.
February 4, 2009
An Earthzone Spirit who Inspires Poetry
This spirit represents the fifteen degree of Gemini on the akashic plane
of the earth. He specializes in poetry.
I don't really write poetry as an artistic endeavor. I wrote things that
look like poems but which for me are "gates" that take me into an
experience. When I reread one of my poems, I reenter the moment when I
had certain feelings and visions. Its magical shorthand, like a sigil.
I have spoken with modern poets, I mean I was "in their face" and they
absolutely state that magic has no place in poetry. "Fools" say I. All
language is magical. Every attempt at communication partakes of a mystery.
I often write models I have never met and say, "I pay for you to tell me
the story of your life. The way I see it, your life is a secret kingdom
and you are the gatekeeper, the only tour guide, and the custodian of its
mysteries." Well, that's me.
However, one of these days I will actually attempt to write decent
poems as well as songs. And to that end I will share with you here a
chapter from a book on 25 or so earthzone spirits that I'll get out some
day soon. This chapter describes "the patron of all poets on earth." When
I reread what I wrote it often feels to me as if someone else wrote it.
I, like you, have to make an effort to understand the words and the
meanings. I do understand every word. It is just for me it is sometimes a
long journey back to encounter the source that inspired the writing. I'll
be working with this spirit over the next two months off and on.
Additional Notes on this spirit who inspies
poetry
February 3, 2009
A local coven was kind enough to let me join them for the ceremony of
Imbolc, the day of midwinter. It is the return of the Maiden, as the
earth grows warmer. The goddess celebrated is Brigid, who is also the
Goddess of poets. During this celebration, the high priestess had each
person take a card from the Tarot deck of Archangels to determine that
individual's spiritual path for the coming year.
I drew the card, Aengus--Twin Flame. Aengus, or Aengus Og, is the god of
youth, poetry, and love. The high priestess looked at my 61 years and
asked with a voice of pure puzzlement, "Are you looking for a twin flame?"
I replied, "A bard is always looking for a twin flame." I should have
said, "A good bard is always looking for a twin flame. A great bard finds
a twin flame in every women he meets."
The next day a model emailed from Arizona saying she was coming this
way. I looked at her on site portfolio and so write the poem below, for
Jillian, but just after the ceremony, I wrote the poem below on the
magnetic and electric fluids.
A Dialogue between the Electric and Magnetic
Fluids or between a man and a woman
Short and sweet.
A Poem for Jillian
To view the picture of the model, see the instructions in the file. I
lived for six months at the Grand Canyon, not far from Page, Az., in a old

It can be helpful if students of Bardon offer details on how they have
experienced working with the exercises. Original contributions enrich the
tradition bringing it to life by putting on display the wealth of insight
hidden within it.
The essay addresses such isssues as "the essence of the feminine
spirit" and "how to feel like a merman or undine."

To Eva Cassidy--a Poem
Eva Cassidy died in 1996 at age 33.
For me, the first vocal part of the song below is an encounter with an
archetype. Eva died young. Her voice is pure gold. It is pure affection
and prophecy--"You'll remember me ...."
I wrote the poem for her. A psyche who is very skilled interacting with
the departed read what I wrote and immediately channeled Eva who explained
to the psychic--"People think I am very special. But I was just doing my
thing. Tell Bill that he should not try to contact me too much because he
is not a medium and gets exhausted easily."
A long time ago I wrote in regard to the boundary separating life and
death, "I know these boundaries. I have crossed over them, entering
darkness with no guide to search for another's heart."
And like Orpheus I return with poetry on my lips but without the woman
to kiss.
The thing I notice about great artists is that they put their whole
heart and soul into their work. When Eva sings, living or dead, her
spirit is present. Her soul is in the very vibration of the sounds she
sings. Even death does not stop the flow of such love.
For Eva Cassidy, Poem II
January 13, 2009
The High Priestess Elena
I was meditating today on a spirit Bardon names as Emnepe, the head of
the fifteen lunar mansion. As I sometimes do, I vibrated this spirit's
aura directly into my mental body. This poem was one result of that
action.

Perfect Contentment--a Story Poem
Even great wizards should beware of the magic of water, lest they lose
their will power.
In Franz Bardon practice, beginners do exactly what the wizard Shamal
did--you concentrate your wish into water and then imagine absorbing that
wish into your self as for example by drinking the water.
I suppose, after twenty or thirty years of practice, changing your
astral body to a specific vibration in an instant is within anyone's
ability, if you are consistent with your practice: Imagine something like
perfect contentment, say the words, concentrate for a moment, and you are
one hundred per cent inside of the experience.
But I won't assert this as a fact. Rather, for the sake of art, I give
this experience to a wizard in my story, a story that belongs to the book
Mystical Fables.

A Woman Dreams She is the Sea--a poem
I awoke last night and wrote this poem, one of a series of fifteen poems
on undines. Not the best poem I agree but still it speaks to me. This poem
is for a female actress/model to illustrate in a five minute video which
I'll have done in another month or so--I found a woman who can embody the
soul of the sea.
I honestly thought it would take me five years (if I was lucky) to
figure out and then find women who can embody mermaid/undine consciousness
within themselves. But the spiritual world said to me, "Naw, it is not at
all difficult. You just need to know where and how to look."
November 14, 2008
The Spirit governing the 9th lunar mansion
Like the spirit of 26 degrees Virgo in the earthzone, this spirit
specializes in healing obsession, mental illness, seizures, etc. It brings
an individual's focus back to the physical world overcoming disturbances
to consciousness.
October 31, 2008
The Spirit of 26 Degrees in the Earthzone
specializes in offering clarity and health for those with difficulties
with mental stability
These are some brief notes on a spirit of the earthzone relating to
mental health. Bardon mentions that this spirit has a great range of
abilities including the abilities to expand consciousness and
concentration. I discuss briefly some of the karmic aspects of magical
intervention in offering assistance to others in this area.
October 30, 2008
A Poem for Deb--the White Knight and the Fair
Maiden
She emailed me yesterday after a number of months. We have never met. I
only get about three emails a year from women so it is something to take
note of when it happens. But as I wrote a reply I noticed the words were
in the shape of a poem which I now share with you--for those of you who
strive as I do to find and unite with one's opposite.
Note: How long have I been pursuing the essence of the feminine spirit?
Thirty years ago I was asking, What do women want from men and what do men
want from women?
I initiated a study of femininity using models to represent the
sensuality of undines who I have worked with extensively in my book on
Undines. However, Achaiah, the seventh spirit of the sphere of Mercury,
gave me some tips. His point was that the opposite of a man is not a
woman but the feminine energy in himself joined with the feminine energy
or magnetic fluid in nature. Similarly, the opposite of a woman is not a
man but the masculine energy in herself joined to the realms of light and
the electric fluid found in nature and the inner planes.
This completes my quest, at least on a personal level, for being able
to establish inner peace with the universe. Teaching this still requires
art, performing artists, models, mediums, etc. But there is now no
urgency. I'll write a story about it--The White Knight's Tale. The really
great videos, however, of women doing the dance of the universe I'll have
to think about how to share. Time, however, for me to move on to other
things. Stay tuned.

The Goddess, the Merman, and the Cup. Audio Files
This is as it says--a meditation for a religion without priests, temples,
or rituals in which love, power, wisdom, and justice are equally honored
and pursued. The goal is to unite the four qualities of spirit within
oneself in order to make the world new. This meditation is a summary of
my work with undines.
August 13, 2008
Audio Files
I added a new section to the web site on audio files. These will be
poems, stories, children stories, and meditations.

An Angel Appears to Jacob--a poem
I do short poems. But this is a long poem. Several individuals have been
after me to answer questions about Iran and possible preemptive strikes.
What can I say? You can get anything you want if you pay the price. Just
make sure that what you want comes from the core of your being.
Otherwise, it is very easy to get distracted.
This poem relates to another two, Jacob's Angel, and The Cosmic Letter
U, in the book, Song of the Universe, lava.net/~pagios/song.htm
Also see my article on the cosmic letter U.
June 30, 2008
Undine Poems
I added a few poems and prose selections relating just to undines. I will
continue to update this section periodically. These poems are also a kind
of "casting call" for those models/actresses/mediums/psychics/initiates
who can connect the performing arts to magical or mystical awareness.

February 9, 2008Ten Rules for Spiritual Seekers
A brief summary of the ten sephiroth of Quabbalah put in simple terms
with a loose correlation to Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics.
December 9, November 18, 2007The Cosmic Letter CH.
This is the complete four plane meditation on the akashic plane of CH.
The CH speaks of a feminine space, a deep hidden stillness, in which body,
soul, mind, and spirit enter in order to join with one's opposite and be
reborn into new life and being. Of the cosmic letters, I think this one
is about as far away as you can get from male consciousness and from
Western civilization.
October 28, 2007The Cosmic Letter U. This letter reveals the original
purposes of anything, how to change your karma, how to adopt any astral
vibration, and how to perceive physical matter from the point of view of
akasha. It is both difficult and in many ways very familiar.October 14, 2007The Cosmic Letter J--astral and physical planes. I
finished up this brief introduction to the cosmic letter J. Basically, the
love and oneness of Divine Providence on the akashic plane now
expresses itself through the four attractions of the astral plane
and through pure physical sensations on the physical plane.October 6, 2007The Cosmic Letter A, Part II: I already have a short,
earlier version of the cosmic letter A. I am adding a few more notes and
a story of the sylph Parahim.

Body Awareness Exercise
This is a short introduction to some basic body awareness that takes Franz
Bardon's ideas in a slightly different direction. It is a basic and
non-magical version of practicing the alchemy of the cosmic letter OE on
the physical level.

The Electric and Magnetic/Four Feminine
Archetypes/Eros and Psyche
This essay is a response to a question concerning the Matriarch and the
Patriarch. It covers a summary of the electric and magnetic fluids in
magic, four feminine archetypes, and the above as told through the story
of Eros and Psyche, perhaps the one great story in Western literature to
survive that speaks to the nature of feminine personal and spiritual
growth.
October 26, 2004
Judaism and Christianity
This is a response to a Jew who wrote me asking about the spiritual wisdom
underlying Judaism. I had first to try to articulate the spiritual wisdom
underlying Christianity--not an easy task.
McKee Psychology
If a spirit of the earthzone who specializes in story telling were to
incarnate on earth I imagine he would be almost exactly like Robert McKee.
I am just sharing a little essay I did on McKee's story telling as it
might be applied to psychology.

The Cosmic Letter "OE"
While traveling, I wrote this brief set of meditations on the cosmic
letter OE.
January 30, 2003
The Cosmc Letter "A", A Poem
I woke up in the middle of last night and started writing this poem.
There are 26 basic building blocks of time, space, matter, energy,
consciousness, and spirit in the Quabbalah. This is the first one of
them. It is light blue in color and has a weightless sensation. It is
both a state of mind and an energy. It is referred to as the cosmic
letter "A" which relates to enlightenment.
I could write like other modern poets about the present moment, the
bread crumbs from the burnt toast that fall to the floor and are rubbed
into the carpet as the dim light from the window and the gray sky filter
through the curtains and remind me that I sometimes feel trapped and
alone. But I am not a modern poet. My mind sees stars and galaxies and I
am overwhelmed by their beauty. I eat toast in the morning but my
imagination is like the taste of mead.
January 28, 2003
The Song of the Universe
I haven't posted anything for a while since I have been editing several
books and getting them ready to submit to publishers. Here, however, is a
collection of most of my poems from various stories and books. As I
mention in the introduction, an earthzone spirit found me a muse which
resulted in my writing these poems. In a sense, the poems do not belong
to me but to the characters in the mythological stories and fables that I
write.
I want to thank profusely Daren who took the time to set up the script,
layout, and links between the table of contents and the individual poems.
Thank you so much.

How a Womanizer Became Enlightened
This is an on-going story about a character from the mythical kingdom of
Ubarim named Kamhia. The story/essay pursues questions about the part
that sensuality and desire have to play if one is to acquire wisdom and
attain enlightenment. Kamhia is one of those characters who has a flair
for combining opposites.
An Interview Regarding Fairy Tales
This is an interview I did with a high school student for a year long
project she was doing for her advance placement English class. It is
about 39 pages long or 313,000 bytes. In it, I discuss fairy tales from
literary, psychological, and magical points of view.
October 19, 2001
The Witness
This is the final story from the book, Mystical Fables. It is not
completely done because it is one of those stories that is on-going. It
took me three months to write it. But then again, it has a life of its
own.
July 16, 2001
Kamhia, A Story in Five Parts
This is another story from the book, Mystical Fables. Kamhia was a priest
in an ancient mythical kingdom called Ubarim. In that kingdom, the
religion was centered around a Great Rite that united the different
provinces and the different temples as well. They had a nature based
religion centered on the Goddess of the Earth but God was free as well to
put in an appearance when He wanted. Kamhia was a highly gifted
individual who was full of contraditions.

A Few Questions and Answers
I have had requests to post the responses I give to the questions I
receive through email. Here are a few questions and answers. Often
questions come with a lot of personal information. I am presenting the
shorter version of the questions.
The Presence of God, Part III
In this brief essay, I continue describing my experiences with the
Presence of God in the sephira of Chockmah and Kether.
January 12, 2001
The Presence of God, Part II
In part II of my essay, The Presence of God, I continue to describe the
Presence in four additional sephira. I also add a few notes on how to
pass through some of the spiritual levels that relate to entering God's
Presence. These essays are first drafts and only part of the book I am
working on.
December 11, 2000
The Presence of God
This is a continuation of my essay, God Presence and Hermetic Metaphysics.
There is of course a high level of difficulty in trying to describe
personal, first hand, and direct experience with God. Mystics usually rely
on poetry or art. Priests rely on symbols and rituals. Magicians try to
employ a high level of will and concentration so that through a state of
consciously directed trance they can enter God's Presence.
But as Bardon would say, establishing union with God is the sum and
substance of the entire training course. In this preliminary essay, I
discuss some of my experiences in the last few weeks. This essay is 26
pages or 161,000 bypes in length.
December 5, 2000
Lugnas the Peacemaker
A story for the holiday season. This is the story about a man inspired by
Aziel, one of the 78 spirits of the Mercury zone. Lugnas had a flair for
inspiring people to make peace with each other. From the book, Mystical
Fables as told to the warrior magician Hirah by the goddess Dawn.
November 30, 2000
The Prophet A'ia
This is another chapter from the book, Mystical Fables. In the mythical
kingdom of Ubarim, the prophet A'ia was considered a minor prophet in part
because he was not a formal priest in any of the eight major temples. All
the same, A'ia has some things to say about the nature of the spoken word,
the origin of true love, and why men fight over land.
November 29, 2000
Another Question on the Philospoher's Stone
Meditation
I received this question by email relating to how to incorporate the
masculine and feminine energies into the above meditation. I realize that
this topic is slightly controversial and can easily be misinterpreted. In
response, I would say that to be enlightened is to see the world as it is.
To be a magician is to understand how the universe works and to accomplish
actions in harmony with its laws.
November 28, 2000
Komio the Thief
This is another chapter from the book called Mystical Fables and it
relates to the part of the book dealing with the mythical kingdom of
Ubarim. The story of Komio is meant to be light and humorous but it also
mimics the kind of humor and perspective that characterizes the gnome
magicians Bardon recommends.
November 9, 2000
The Philosopher's Stone
In this 14 page essay, I summarize some of my thoughts on strengthening
and refining the vitality within our bodies. I am pursuing this topic as
a meditation that is consistent with Franz Bardon's training regarding
increasing vitality in his book, Initiation into Hermetics. See my
comments on chapters 1 and 2, physical level on this web site under Basic
Training for related material.
September 14, 2000
St. Columba
This is the only story from the Christian tradition in my book, Mystical
Fables. I have rewritten and made additions to it. Mystical Fables will
be available in early Novemeber.
In these stories retold from history, legend, and from beyond, I
search for the reason as to why the human race is so violent, what our
destiny is, and how the quest for power, love, and wisdom can be
reconciled within the human heart.
Introduction
This is the Acknowledgment and Introduction to my book, A Travel Guide to
Life, Part I. The book is not yet published. It contains the
psychological system I use for navigating between the worlds.

Isaphil
This is a brief account of some further meditations I have done with the
undine Isaphil. It is also on my web page on undines and under the
undines section of this web site. You can read it on line or else
download it and open it with a web browser such as Netscape or Internet
Explorer or with a word processing program such as Word.
Emvatibe
Emvatibe is the head of the fourth lunar mansion. He specializes in
magical protection. This is part of the essay on him from my forthcoming
book, Spirits of the Planetary Spheres.
Emnasut
Emnasut is the first spirit of the Sun. He specializes in maintaining
balance in the fire element throughout our solar system. In this essay, I
discuss briefly his nature and the relation of the fire element to will
power and, in particular, to political evolution on our planet.
June 21, 2000
25 EARTHZONE SPIRITS
Over the past quarter century, I have had the great pleasure of becoming
acquainted, getting to know, and in some cases becoming friends with a
number of spirits of the earthzone. Since I have studied with great
teachers in all of the major religions, it is natural also to study with
the great teachers who dwell within the sphere of akasha that surrounds
our planet.
Franz Bardon, in his book The Practice of Magical Evocation, briefly
describes each of these spirits qualities and mission in two or three
paragraphs per spirit. In my book, I am able to spend more time with a
few of these spirits giving my personal experiences and delving further
into their nature, abilities, and powers.
April 30, 2000
I have posted here three weeks of my magical journal for April.
This is a description of the spirit in the earthzone called Cigila, 28
degrees Pisces. He assists an individual in developing divine virtues such
as concentration, clarity of mind, and inner stillness. He also points out
things which can be done to reduce human suffering. I have been working
with Cigila off and on since 1979. Cigila
March 23, 2000
I have added a few more "one minute meditations" for those who find
Bardon's exercises excessively boring or difficult. I am working toward a
book of such meditations called something like
Mead for the Soul
March 21, 2000
This is a set of short exercises designed for those who find themselves
too busy to do the practices in Franz Bardon's book, Initiation into
Hermetics. I find some of Bardon's exercises extremely boring even though
they are so important. If it was not for the fact that I feel compelled
to work on this material, I would have a very hard time getting through
Bardon's book on Initiation. But you do what you need to do to get the
job done. At the same time, the importance of play, love, and delight
should never be ignored when it comes to sustaining your motivation and
commitment.
These practices are called Mead for the Soul
March 14, 2000
This is a 16 page essay on the cosmic letter K in Franz Bardon's book, The
Key to the True Quabbalah. The cosmic letter K is central to discussions
of faith and conviction, war and peace, and our ability to attain our
highest purposes in life. It also relates to an individual's ability to
acquire rare wealth or unusual treasures of life. I was told decades ago
that I needed to master this letter yet for me it has been one of
the most difficult problems I have had to work on in magick. I hope this
essay might be of benefit to students of magick and those who wish to
serve Divine Providence.
See The Cosmic Letter K
March 10, 2000
The Song of the Universe
This book is a collection of 59 poems I wrote under the inspiration of a
Muse the earthzone spirit Zagriona found for me. These poems explore
human and divine love. There is sensuality, sex, eroticism, passion,
pain, regret, loss, and also ecstasy and bliss. There are personal
experiences with love, metaphysical experiences with tantra, and the host
of magical experiences. 19 of these poems were written while meditating
with various nature spirits--undines, gnomes, salamanders, and sylphs--and
also with various spirits of the earthzone and other spheres. I consider
them steppingstones and reminders of where I have been on my spiritual
journey.
January 31, 2000
This is a story about a conversation between the Archangel Micheal and the
wisest of the Neanderthals--a species now extinct which once lived here on
earth for perhaps a hundred and fifty thousand years. I use poetic
license when I write but the questions I raise seem so fundamental it is
as if they are written into our DNA. See The
Neanderthal
Note: I plan to offer several books on this site for download or by
disk or manuscript through the mail. These will be the edited and complete
version of stories and conversations you now sample here. Some writers
prefer to self-publish and internet commerce enables us to do this in a
fairly straight forward and reasonable manner.
January 4, 2000
This article reviews a brief contact I had one day as I visited
a number of spirits in the earthzone. I do that occasionally.
I sit down and visit some of the spirits I have worked with
before and also drop in on some new ones.
I once visited on old professor I had studied with in college.
He gave me some useful information but he was not really friendly.
These spirits seem to be always friendly.

December 21, 1999
This article is entitled God Presence and Hermetic
Metaphysics Training in a system such as Bardon's involves a great
many practices pursued in a rigorous and step and step manner. However, it
is also true that underneath and behind all this elaborate training
program is the Presence of the Creator. In this article, I share the
words I use to describe this Presence.
November 30, 1999
This is part two of my article on transcendence which I place under basic
training. In it, I share a few of my thoughts on initiation, training in
magick, and where you might consider beginning. I also share a few
personal comments about what transcendence means to me. Transcendence, Part II
Now, for something a little more playful though also serious, tongue in
cheek yet also at the center of the discussion of justice and peace--an
essay, an imaginary set of interviews actually with one of the two
"witnesses" spoken of by the Apostle John in chapter 11 of his Revelations
and also Isaiah who prophesized that they shall beat their swords into
plowshares. Swords into Plowshares
November 8, 1999
This short piece is a summary of some recent meditations on the cosmic
letter UE in the Bardon system. The cosmic letters are basic building
blocks from which matter, spirit, space, time, and consciousness are
formed. The Cosmic Letter UE
September 7, 1999
Here is the second part of my commentary on the transference of
consciousness for the mental level of Bardon's chapter 4 exercises. This
exercise deals with transferring of consciousness into other people.
Chapter 4, Mental Level, Part 2
September 1, 1999
This is a twelve page commentary on the exercise for the mental level of
Chapter 4 in Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics.
Chapter 4, Mental Level
This commentary gives examples of transference of consciousness into
objects and animals, viz., a coin, a tree, a hurricane, and a bird, a
wolverine, and a humpback whale.
I had a request for an evocation I did on Alosom, a spiirt of the
earthzone, so I am posting that article here also. Alosom, A Spirit of Silence
July 12, 1999
Here is a summary and short commentary on the mental level exercises for
the third chapter in Franz Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics--Chapter 3, Mental Level
These exercises, besides being extraordinarily difficult, are also
perhaps the most fun and enjoyable of all the exercises in Bardon's books.
Then again, when you train on this level you are doing what most religious
and also academic teachers from around the world would consider
impossible. But if you stick to it, it is not really all that difficult
in the end.
July 8, 1999
I have posted under Basic Training a brief commentary on the psychic level
exercises for chapter 3--Accumulating and Dissolving the Four Elements.
See Chapter 3 Psyhic Level
Also, Ugolog, 25 degrees Pisces in the earthzone, specializes in prophecy
relating to the perfection of the individual's physical, astral, and
mental body in the short and long haul. Occasionally, for my peace of
mind, I take the time to engage that prophetic/clairvoyant vision we all
possess to understand the love which underlies and supports us through
life's struggles and difficulties. Ugolog is a special teacher in this
capacity. See Ugolog--A Spirit of Prophecy
May 10, 1999
Achaiah is one of the 72 spirits of the sphere of Mercury. He is
especially good in the area of world peace meditations. This is an area of
magick in which I feel comfortable and at home. I offer one such
meditation and method for influencing national leaders and accelerating
political evolution on this planet.
It is all good and fine for the prophet Isaiah to proclaim that "they
shall beat their swords into plowshears and their spears into pruning
hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they
learn war anymore." He said that about 2800 years ago. But it seems to me
that this prophecy is one of those things for which you have to want it,
will it, and make it happen. Otherwise, it remains unfulfilled.
See Achaiah
May 8, 1999
Here is a brief description of one of those fabulously beautiful spirits
who inhabit the sphere of Venus. Obideh is one of the 83 spirits of Venus
described briefly by Frnaz Bardon in The Practice of Magical Evocation.
I also discuss briefly the concept of a magical incarnation, the woman who
seems to embody some of Obideh in herself, as well as some of the
requisites for working with Venusian teachings and practices regarding
love. Obideh is one of the first eight spirits
of Venus relating to Aries who specialize in sexuality, sexual magick, and
the use of the polarities of masculine and feminine energy for making
charms, etc.
March 22, 1999,
I added a ten page meditation on the kind of power and will which some of
the salamanders which Bardon describes possess. Aphtiph, for example,
embodies that kind of absolute will and faith which from time to time
appears in human history in a great prophet, sovereign king, or
revolutionary. The essay is a product of my meditating with Aphtiph on
how to translate the energy of his aura into something we can use and
learn for ourselves. If there is any one energy the spiritual world has
commanded me to master, it is this one. I have been at it for over two
decades and it still is not easy. The
Salamander Aphtiph.
Here is also a poem, an elegy, for someone I knew who died recently.
She was one of three Americans murdered in Columbia in early March. An Elegy

This is an extension of the commentary on the physical level
exercises in chapter 2 for Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics.
These exercises explore some further aspects of basic lung and pour
breathing. Pour Breathing Explorations
January 15, 1999.
I am adding a review of the three exercises in Bardon's Initiation into
Hermetics, chapter 3, physical level. I also have a commentary on the
first of these exercises. Bardon expects his students to attain to a
supreme mastery of the life force, at least as much as what you may
observe in some of the great Swamis and yogis of our planet. This exercise
is second step in that direction. Chapter 3,
physical level.
January 14, 1999.
I had a request concerning the spirits of the sphere of Mars. Idida I
have been working with lately. His Virgo energy is kind of natural for
me. Gibsir is a spirit governing Mars in Aries. I worked with him a
number of years ago. Mar's spirits are rather difficult to understand
unless absolute power has touched your life or else forced you to wrestle
with its might. But when you have grown up in the 1950's and watched
thermonuclear explosions on TV you are witnessing the sphere of Mars being
invaded by human beings.
For IdidaFor Gibsir
January 6, 1999.
Continuing with a commentary on Bardon's Initiation Into Hermetics, I have
included some notes on the exercises for the physical level of the second
chapter.
Chapter Two, Physical Level Exercises
I have also added a brief description of an earthzone spirit named
Romasara. Since Romasara specializes in pranayama and drawing vitality
into the body through breath, it is appropriate to introduce some of his
ideas as they relate to Bardon's physical level exercises.
Romasara
December 19, 1998.
Emrudue, the head of
the seventh mansion of the moon, specializes in granting wishes and
bringing happiness, success, luck, and fulfillment. He is perhaps one of
the most remarkable spirits in this regard of the over 550 spirits which
Franz Bardon describes.
November 30, 1998
These are some of my notes on evoking
Ebvep, the Head of the Eleventh Mansion of the
Moon.
Wiccans often evoke goddesses of the moon. In the Western Hermetic
tradition, there are twenty-eight moon mansions. Franz Bardon lists the
head spirits of these twenty-eight mansions. Ebvep is certainly one of
the more difficult spirits of the lunar zone to work with but this is not
because he is aloof. He works with the entire matrix of life and the
dense vibrations of energy through which the earth and the moon connect.
Part of my interest in Bardon's system is philosophical. I
have received what I consider extremely impoverished theological and
philosophical systems from my Western and Oriental heritages.
Consequently, a great deal of what I do is exploratory in nature. I want
to understand the relation of body, soul, mind, spirit, nature, history,
and human destiny.
I want to understand love not just as a moral, ethical, personal, and
spiritual virtue. I want to understand love in the way God used it as a
means for creating the universe. A spirit such as Ebvep goes a long way
toward leading me to where I can understand this through direct
experience.
November 5, 1998
I added my commentary and suggestions for the
basic exercise relating to attaining magical equilibrium in the second
chapter psychic level of Initiation into Hermetics. See
Chapter 2, Psychic Level Exercise
November 4, 1998
I added some essays relating to the basic
practices on the psychic level in Chapter 2 of Bardon's book, Initiation
into Hermetics.
An essay on Transcendence relates to a
ritual or pathworking which I would like to suggest for beginning Bardon
magicians who wish to keep their devotional life in focus.
An essay on The Shadow in Psychology and
Magick points out some basic psychological and spiritual principles
relevant for those who are working on attaining magical equilibrium.
An essay on Negative Spirits is about one
of the dangers possible in the Bardon system of practice. Since Bardon's
work has such a strong emphasis and disclosure of Divine power and will,
it is perhaps inevitable that those practicing his system will be closely
monitored by negative spirits. But, after all, that is their job. They
naturally notice and of course test those who seek to develop unusal
levels of will power especially of a magical nature.
An essay on Jvar who is a spirit of the earthzone--3 degrees Leo--who
specializes in magical equilibrium. Jvar has
been of assistance to me in the past in working through personal
difficulties and I would share some brief descriptions of what he is
like.
I also have posted some information on Bagoloni a spirit of 12 degrees Gemini in the
earthzone who specialzes in telepathy.
I have added some new material on Jachil
a spirit of 3 degrees Gemini in the earthzone who I have been working with
recently.
And finally I have a description of both the positive spirit and
negative counterpart in the earthzone of Tagora.
Tagora is a spirit in Scorpio who specializes in personal love and who is
adept in all aspects of pleasure, sensuality, the nervous system, and the
chakras. The sign of Scorpio knows a lot about the intensity and depths of
desire and it is always nice to work with a spirit who has keen insight
into this aspect of human experience.
August 26, 1998
I sometimes think that Moses could have told 30
different stories of creation if he had had the time. This story of creation
was inspired by meditating with Lurchi, one of the spirits of the
earthzone which Franz Bardon attributes to the sign of Aries. Since I
live in a universe of 200 billion galaxies, the angels who work with God
in creating have to pull more weight and exercise more initiative than
perhaps previous ages imagined.
August 23, 1998
I continue my work with the archangel Gabriel.
I added five pages covering some side effects, processing, and more
material on the mental, astral, and physical planes.
July 22, 1998
Here is some old and some new material on the
archangel Gabriel. Bardon only occasionally mentions archangels but
traditionally Gabriel relates to the sphere of Yesod or the moon so I am
including him here under the planetary spheres.
June 25, 1998
I added nine pages of commentary on the second chapter mental level exercises
from Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. These are concentrations
on the five senses. My comments relate to my own experiences and review
some of the psychological, spiritual, and psychic aspects of sensory
perception and magical practice.
I added two essays which relate to my previous request for assistance in
meditating on world peace in regard to specific nations and difficulties.
It is important to do crisis management by telepathically and magically
encouraging others to work out their problems in a peaceful manner. This
is short term stuff. In the long run you have to introduce a higher
awareness of karma and the need to pursue political ends which serve the
far future and not just immediate gains.
Along these lines, I have posted Finding Akasha
in Yourself and Finding Saturn in
Yourself. The two essays are closely related. Since I am interested
in making available to the public the wisdom of the planetary spheres, I
need to meet a requirement by the spirits of Saturn to take responsibility
for the consequences of this action. The chief Justice of Saturn is also
an appropriate spirit to work with in introducing a higher awareness of
justice and planetary interests into the goals and actions of nations and
their leaders. To this end, I have summarized briefly the Chief Justice
of Saturn's aura as a four part meditation.
May 30, 1998
I added A request regarding world peace. This is
an open invitation for assistance in meditating to help resolve a
difficult world situation, viz., between India and Pakistan.
Also, related to the above, I have placed under Earthzone Spirit
Evocations Melamo--Development of Will Power.
Melamo is one of those earthzone spirits, like Anamil and Bialode, who
specializes in the use of divine and magical will for the service of
mankind.
The use of will to prevent dangerous situations from happening is not
quite the same as encouraging or inspiring others to work out their karma
in a peaceful manner. To that end, I will post another meditation work
called Finding the Saturn Spirit in Yourself which can be used for a
variety of situations but especially for developing peace in political and
international areas of conflict.
May 4, 1998
I addedIntroduction to Faery Tales and Elemental Beings. This is actually
the introduction to a book I am putting together on my dialogues and
encounters with elemental beings. The essay borrows from several other
short pieces I have posted here. Constructive feedback is appreciated.
Also,Introduction to Fire This is a little piece I wrote a while back.
April 23, 1998
I added Introduction to the Psychology of the Four Elements. I also placed this
under Basic Training since it relates to establishing what is called a
magical equilibrium within oneself. This essay arose out of meditating
with the earthzone spirit in Leo named Jvar who specializes in overcoming
weaknesses and attaining inner balance.
April 21, 1998
I added a home page for salamanders. This
includes parts of essays/stories/dialogues with Orudu, Pyrhum, and
Tapheth. An essay on Itumo I already had posted.
With Tapheth, I continue the spiritual psychology I am developing which
relates to internalizing the nature of elemental beings within oneself.
For example, with my essay on Tapheth--Finding the Salamander in
Yourself--it is not necessary to do an evocation or practice clairvoyance
and so forth. At this point, we are just doing a kind of advanced
transpersonal or spiritual psychology.
Fire--primoridal and nuclear--is part of my life. I have
had clairvoyant dreams for forty years about these flames
and so it actually a relief to work with them in a conscious
manner.
April 11, 1998
Under Stories and Poems, I added a 20 page or so story called the Fall of
Atlantis. I know, I know, there are tons of Atlantean fables trying to
pass as the "real thing" in order to capture the minds of the innocent.
But I am writing mythology not fact. The purpose of mythology is to tell
you how to resolve conflicts and also who we are and what we are meant to
be. By the way, the word of power I refer to is from Bardon's third book,
The Key to the True Quabbalah. And the poem in the story, You are My
Soul--you could say I made up this entire story just so I could figure out
a world in which that poem could find a home. Actually the undine Isaphil
had a lot to do originally with showing me this vision on the astral
plane. For The Fall of Atlantis

I added a commentary on the physical level exercises in Franz Bardon's
Initiation into Hermetics. Click Here
April 5, 1998
I have started a new section called Basic Training. This section presents
my commentary on the mental. psychic, and physical level exercises in
Bardon's book, Initiation into Hermetics. I will try to follow each
chapter beginning with chapter 1.
You will notice I am better at some things than other things. I do not
think it is a big deal to do a commentary. Everyone who works with the
Bardon system will have their own thoughts and comments to share based on
their experience. I plan also to place here anything I present in a
question and answer format. Best of luck to everyone.

A Master Student Dialogue
With a touch of Monty Python (read humor) I bring to you a dialogue on
shiva, shakti, kundalini, and tantra. I can barely sit down in the morning
and begin to meditate when some little piece of art starts demanding that
I write it down and upload it to this site or to facebook.

Kundalini (the Serpent Power) for

This is a thirty three page essay I wrote today on a meditation I did
with kundalini. It is meant to be humorous and light and is more of an
introduction to spiritual anthropology and the chakras rather than a
serious study of kundalini.

From Facebook: I am getting too old to play the role of Ghost of
Christmas Future. I got you through the U.S. and Russia, the Iron Curtain
fall, Pakistan and India. I played my part. I played it well. But it is
now up to you younger folks to carry the ball. I made a few mistakes. I
never learned how to heal or to inspire, only to destroy the
destroyers. But that is part of my learning process.

Ondine Movie SPOILER: The girl the fisherman finds in his net appears
to be a selkie--a seal that becomes human by shedding its skin. But it
turns out she has history--she was carring drugs and ended up in the sea.
But the idea that she is not human is too much for poor Syracuse (Colin
Farrell). In the end, she is accepted as human and not selkie so everyone
can get on with their lives.
But then the events in the plot, namely, that she can call fish for him
to catch can not be accounted for. No one is that lucky and the movie is
not about luck. The events in the plot indicate she is a mermaid who
revives the drowned body of a human woman and then (exactly like real
mermaid women) she lives among us disguising who she really is. But the
movie never touches this possibility.

mind so you can replay the video. Become water without any reference back
